Ok im 13 and im in 8th grade..and im already tired of school. Ok? Like i have a lot of friends i just dont like people and all the drama with my friends so it takes all of me to get up in the morning and go to school. Then like the teachers are ok and all but they just put too much pressure on me and i teach myself better than they teach me. So i want to be homeschooled for highschool...my sister said she would do it i mean she works at home anyway. But my dad doesnt think its such a very good idea because then i may not get into a good college but i dont know if i want to go to college...i really desperately need help.. should i stick it out and try for college or just be homeschooled what would you do? Also im pretty much inlove with this guy actually im fully inlove with this guy and we have our whole lives planned together. So we want to get married as soon as I graduate because he's joining the marines and like thats another thing... i was gonna live on base with him... so i dont kno what to do. I dont know if i want college and i dont know if i was to be homeschooled... i'm really thinking about it but then like i dont kno im just so confused can anyone help??
Sorry if this is confusing i just kinda wrote what i was thinking and my toughts are all jambled right now...please help!

I understand what you're saying about school. I'm in my last year and at points it's felt like battling through a minefield of stupidity and melodrama. However school is the best place in the world for meeting people you get on with and learning to deal with life in general, and yes it will most likely be far easier to get into college if you go through the normal route. Personally while I think homeschooling is awesome for education-working at your pace etc, it can be quite alienating both at the time and later on- when you're an adult you will be missing that common experience with other people who went through highschool.
As for this boy, you could well be right and you two could well end up getting married but 4/5years is a long time and you are both going to become very different people. If you two really are in love you going to highschool will not break you apart. You have years and years to decide whether you want college and marriage or not.
In the meantime i'd give highschool a try. It's much easier to drop out of highschool to be homeschooled than it is to try to enrol in highschool halfway through a year.
